Don't know about much other than the vehicle itself. From what I've heard, a good set of foams may be the best thing to use, right? Then, mounting them so they are perfectly balanced is imperative at the speeds I'm going to try to hit.

If I can't get a 2spd spur/pinion combo right to reach those high speeds, I might have to go with a single speed and use a very large pinion. But then, I'll need a larger motor (1515 or even the 1521) to generate the low-end torque since it will be geared so high.

I think I'm going to try to make the battery tray and the ESC/Rx mount out of fiberglass to keep the weight down. Should be interesting...
